Quick Start
1. Go to [VictoriaMetrics](https://victoriametrics.com).
2. Log in with either Google account or Github account. New account will be created for you.
3. Click the `default acc.` in order to go to `Projects` page for this account.
4. Click the `Create` button in order to create new project.
5. Give your project a name, choose desired retention and precision, then click `Create`. Lower retention and lower precision cost less, since they require less storage.
6. Click the `Tokens` button in order to see [Prometheus remote write URL](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#%3Cremote_write%3E) and [URL for Prometheus datasource in Grafana](http://docs.grafana.org/features/datasources/prometheus/).
7. Put `remote_write` url into your Prometheus config according to [these rules](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#%3Cremote_write%3E) and send `SIGHUP` to `prometheus` process, so it reloads config:
```
kill -HUP `pidof prometheus`
```
8. Create new [datasource in Grafana for Prometheus](http://docs.grafana.org/features/datasources/prometheus/) using the corresponding url from `Tokens` page.
9. Switch to new datasource and explore graphs built from your data stored in VictoriaMetrics.
